Short-Term Running Goals:

Now that I'm (almost for sure) done having all the babies, I'm working on building consistency and seeing how fast I can get in my old age. ;)

Long-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to be a healthy and relatively injury-free runner for the rest of my life.  

Personal:

I'm married to Eric (Faceless Ghost on the blog) and we have very active daughters and one dog. I have a PhD in sociology and demography, and I'm incredibly grateful to have work that is meaningful and that builds on my academic experience. I run because it makes me feel strong and it helps to keep the crazy away (there is a long history of abuse and mental illness in my extended family).

Total Distance
3.80

I'm confused about the distance of my route. The first time I did it (a week ago) it was 3.7. When I mapped my run on it it was 3.8. Tonight I went out until I hit 2 miles, but when I got back I was only at 3.8 (should have been 4 since I went the same way both ways). I'm just going to count it as 3.8 every time. I hope that's not cheating. 

Not as fast as last night. According to the garmin (which may or may not be broken), 3.81 in 32:08. 8:23, 8:48, 8:12, 8:23 for .81 (8:26 ap).

I'm pretty bothered that I don't know the exact distance. Maybe it's really 3.7. Maybe later I'll find out that that's what it really is and I'll have to go back and change all my entries and I'll have been running slower than I thought I was.

Sometimes Garmins are just a pain in the butt! I hope you're having a great day today. Either way, you hit some very nice speeds in your run!!
